Where to invest your pot of money in Dubai
This may seem like a first-world problem to have, but both the real estate market and the stock market in Dubai have been outperforming global benchmarks handsomely. In effect, for those with a reasonable sum of money to invest – anything between Dh50,000 and a few million Ds – the choice could become a little overwhelming if not downright confusing.
Of course, the choice may veer towards investing in stocks the closer one is to the beginning of that range (Dh50,000) as there won’t be much that you can buy in Dubai with that much down payment. However, as you move up the investment ladder – more cash in your pocket – the choice becomes more difficult.
